INTRODUCTION

Infections caused by or related to bacteria are a major cause of human illness worldwide, and the frequency of resistance to standard antibiotics has risen dramatically over the last decade. In particular, the extensive use of methicillin, a penicillin derivative, has led to the development of methicillin-resistant bacterial strains. Such methicillin-resistant microbes, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphlyococcus epidermidis (MRSE), pose serious threats to hospitalized patients, newborns, and the elderly. Organisms resistant to methicillin are frequently resistant to multiple drug classes including cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones or glycopeptides, thus removing antibacterial agents of these classes as therapeutic options. For example, in hospital settings, MRSA is resistant to almost all antibiotics. Of the approximately 150 marketed antibiotics used today, only five are approved by the FDA for use against MRSA infections. Hence, there exists an urgent, unmet medical need and demand for new agents acting against bacterial targets.

Examples of potential bacterial targets are those enzymes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. While the overall pathway of saturated fatty acid biosynthesis is similar in all organisms, the fatty acid synthase (FAS) systems vary considerably with respect to their structural organization. It is believed that vertebrates and yeast possess a FAS in which all the enzymatic activities are encoded on one or two polypeptide chains, respectively, and in both cases the acyl carrier protein (ACP) participates as part of the complex. In bacterial, however, it is known that each of the FAS reactions is catalyzed by a distinct, mono-functional enzyme with the ACP remaining as a discrete protein. Therefore, it may be possible to achieve selective inhibition of the bacterial system by appropriate agents that, for example, target one or more of the FAS catalyzed systems.

One such potential bacterial target is the FabI protein. FabI (previously designated EnvM) is believed to function as an enoyl-ACP reductase in the final step of the four reactions involved in each cycle of bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis. It is believed that in this pathway, the first step is catalyzed by β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase, which condenses malonyl-ACP with acetyl-CoA (FabH, synthase III). It is believed that in subsequent rounds, malonyl-ACP is condensed with the growing-chain acyl-ACP (FabB and FabF, synthases I and II, respectively). The second step in the elongation cycle is thought to be ketoester reduction by NADPH-dependent β-ketoacyl-ACP reductase (FabG). Subsequent dehydration by β-hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydrase (either FabA or FabZ) leads to trans-2-enoyl-ACP. Finally, in step four, trans-2-enoyl-ACP is converted to acyl-ACP by an NADH (or NADPH)-dependent enoyl-ACP reductase (Fab I). Further rounds of this cycle, adding two carbon atoms per cycle, would eventually lead to palmitoyl-ACP (16C), where upon the cycle is stopped largely due to feedback inhibition of Fab I by palmitoyl-ACP. Thus, Fab I is believed to be a major biosynthetic enzyme and is a key regulatory point in the overall synthetic pathway of bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis.

In some bacteria it is believed that the final step of fatty acid biosynthes is catalyzed by Fab I only, in others by FabK, an NADH and FMN dependent reductase, still others utilize both FabI and FabK.

The present invention provides, in part, compositions with FabI inhibiting properties.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Introduction

The present invention is directed in part towards novel compositions that inhibit bacterial and/or infective enzymes and/or enzymes within infectious agents, and methods of making and using the same. In certain aspects, inhibitors and other compounds of the invention may be found by a structure-guided medicinal chemistry effort.

Bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis is believed to proceed via a Type II or dissociated fatty acid synthase system, in contrast to the mammalian Type I system. The overall process is believed to proceed in two stages—initiation and cyclical elongation. Enoyl-ACP reductase is part of the elongation cycle, in which malonyl-ACP is condensed with a growing acyl chain by β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase (FabB, FabF, FabH). The β-ketoester is reduced by β-ketoacyl-ACP reductase, which is then dehydrated to the trans-unsaturated acyl-ACP. The trans-unsaturated acyl-ACP is then reduced by enoyl-ACP reductase. (See FIG. 1).

The enoyl-ACP reductase step is believed to be accomplished by FabI in E. coli and other gram negative organisms and Staphylococci. In certain gram-positive organisms, FabI paralogs exist. In Streptococcus pneumoniae, the enzymatic step is believed to be accomplished by the FabK protein. In B. subtilis and E. faecalis, genes encoding both FabI and FabK exist. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis a FabI paralog termed InhA exists. Enoyl-ACP reductase is believed to be the enzymatic target of the antimicrobial product triclosan.

In certain embodiments, the design of new analogs having FabI inhibiting properties is based on viewing the analogs as consisting of a central acrylamide flanked by two relatively hydrophobic groups, conveniently denoted as left-hand side (LHS) and right-hand side (RHS). Schematically this is depicted in FIG. 2, where a dumbbell like structure provides one way of viewing certain of the subject compositions (the central bond disconnections that is envisioned in a retrosynthetic sense are shown with dashed lines).

The invention is also directed to compositions for treating and preventing infections, including bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic or protozal infections. In certain aspects, the inhibitors and compounds of the invention may be used to treat bacterial infections, including infections caused by methicillin-resistant bacterial strains.

In certain embodiments, the FabI inhibitors and compounds described herein may be used alone or in combination with antibiotics, such as cephalosporins, quinolones, penicillins, macrolides and others, to treat all strains of Staphylococci, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermis (MRSE) strains.

Infectious diseases are an important cause of patient morbidity and mortality. Bacterial pathogens, in particular, give rise to a variety of acute and chronic conditions including skin and skin structure infections, upper and lower respiratory tract infections and urinary tract infections, and a significant incidence of life-threatening illnesses such as pneumonia and blood stream infections. Depending on the severity of illnesses, diagnosis and treatment may occur in either the community (outpatient) setting or hospital (inpatient) setting.

In the community setting, Staphylococcus aureus is an important causative pathogen for uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections and for mild to moderately severe upper and lower respiratory tract infections. Oral treatment of these conditions has traditionally been managed by penicillins and macrolides, and more recently by more potent agents such as broad spectrum cephalosporins, ketolides, and fluoroquinolones. However, increasing bacterial resistance, most acute among staphylococci, has rendered many therapeutic options ineffective against infection caused by resistant staphylococci. The most commonly encountered staphylococcal phenotype, classified as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a pathogen frequently resistant to 3 or more different classes of antimicrobials.

In the hospital environment, drug resistant staphylococci exhibit a higher prevalence than in the community and are implicated in a range of serious to life-threatening illnesses including complicated skin and skin structure infections, blood stream infections, upper and lower respiratory tract infections and disease requiring longer term therapy, e.g., endocarditis and osteomyelitis. Broad spectrum intravenous agents including cephalosporins, carbapenems, glyco-and lipopeptides, fluoroquinolones, and oxazolidinones are often utilized as therapy for hospitalized patients. Fluoroquinolones and oxazolidinones are also available as oral formulations.

The FabI inhibitors and compounds described herein may be used to treat susceptible and resistant strains of staphylococci including MRSA. Use of either an oral or an intravenous formulation of the FabI inhibitors and compounds described herein in a fixed does combination with agents used to treat infections both in the community and the hospital setting would afford the following advantages: fulfill a growing medical need for novel therapies in the treatment of staphylococcal infections; address medical and market need for an oral agent in the treatment of community based staphylococcal infections; provide and augment coverage of susceptible and resistant strains of staphylococci to currently used antimicrobials prolonging their clinical utility; provide a novel bacterial target and mechanism of action; provide no antagonism of partner antibiotic spectrum of activity; provide the decreased likelihood of resistance development; provide the decreased requirement for additional courses of antibiotics due to initial therapeutic failures; and lower overall incidence of adverse events due to multiple courses of broad spectrum antibiotics.

Certain compounds contained in compositions of the present invention may exist in particular geometric or stereoisomeric forms. In addition, polymers of the present invention may also be optically active. The present invention contemplates all such compounds, including cis- and trans-isomers, R- and S-enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, the racemic mixtures thereof, and other mixtures thereof, as falling within the scope of the invention. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in a substituent such as an alkyl group. All such isomers, as well as mixtures thereof, are intended to be included in this invention.

If, for instance, a particular enantiomer of compound of the present invention is desired, it may be prepared by asymmetric synthesis, or by derivation with a chiral auxiliary, where the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated and the auxiliary group cleaved to provide the pure desired enantiomers. Alternatively, where the molecule contains a basic functional group, such as amino, or an acidic functional group, such as carboxyl, diastereomeric salts are formed with an appropriate optically-active acid or base, followed by resolution of the diastereomers thus formed by fractional crystallization or chromatographic means well known in the art, and subsequent recovery of the pure enantiomers.

It will be understood that “substitution” or “substituted with” includes the implicit proviso that such substitution is in accordance with permitted valence of the substituted atom and the substituent, and that the substitution results in a stable compound, e.g., which does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, or other reaction.

The term “substituted” is also contemplated to include all permissible substituents of organic compounds. In a broad aspect, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic substituents of organic compounds. Illustrative substituents include, for example, those described herein above. The permissible substituents may be one or more and the same or different for appropriate organic compounds. For purposes of this invention, the heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and/or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein which satisfy the valences of the heteroatoms. This invention is not intended to be limited in any manner by the permissible substituents of organic compounds.

For purposes of this invention, the chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 67th Ed., 1986-87, inside cover. Also for purposes of this invention, the term “hydrocarbon” is contemplated to include all permissible compounds having at least one hydrogen and one carbon atom. In a broad aspect, the permissible hydrocarbons include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic organic compounds that may be substituted or unsubstituted.

The term “protecting group” is art-recognized and refers to temporary substituents that protect a potentially reactive functional group from undesired chemical transformations. Examples of such protecting groups include esters of carboxylic acids, silyl ethers of alcohols, and acetals and ketals of aldehydes and ketones, respectively. The field of protecting group chemistry has been reviewed by Greene and Wuts in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (2^(nd) ed., Wiley: New York, 1991).

The term “amino-blocking group” is art-recognized and refers to a group which will prevent an amino group from participating in a reaction carried out on some other functional group, but which can be removed from the amine when desired. Such groups are discussed by in Ch. 7 of Greene and Wuts, cited above, and by Barton, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry ch. 2 (McOmie, ed., Plenum Press, New York, 1973). Examples of suitable groups include acyl protecting groups such as, to illustrate, formyl, dansyl, acetyl, benzoyl, trifluoroacetyl, succinyl, methoxysuccinyl, benzyl and substituted benzyl such as 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl, o-nitrobenzyl, and triphenylmethyl; those of the formula —COOR where R includes such groups as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, 1-methyl-1-phenylethyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, t-amyl, vinyl, allyl, phenyl, benzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, o-nitrobenzyl, and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl; acyl groups and substituted acyl such as formyl, acetyl, chloroacetyl, dichloroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, benzoyl, and p-methoxybenzoyl; and other groups such as methanesulfonyl, p-toluenesulfonyl, p-bromobenzenesulfonyl, p-nitrophenylethyl, and p-toluenesulfonyl-aminocarbonyl.

The definition of each expression, e.g. lower alkyl, m, n, p and the like, when it occurs more than once in any structure, is intended to be independent of its definition elsewhere in the same structure.

The term “electron-withdrawing group” is art-recognized, and refers to the tendency of a substituent to attract valence electrons from neighboring atoms, i.e., the substituent is electronegative with respect to neighboring atoms. A quantification of the level of electron-withdrawing capability is given by the Hammett sigma (σ) constant. This well known constant is described in many references, for instance, March, Advanced Organic Chemistry 251-59 (McGraw Hill Book Company: New York, 1977). The Hammett constant values are generally negative for electron donating groups (σ(P)=−0.66 for NH₂) and positive for electron withdrawing groups (σ(P)=0.78 for a nitro group), σ(P) indicating para substitution. Exemplary electron-withdrawing groups include nitro, acyl, formyl, sulfonyl, trifluoromethyl, cyano, chloride, and the like. Exemplary electron-donating groups include amino, methoxy, and the like.

The term “amino acid” is art-recognized and refers to all compounds, whether natural or synthetic, which include both an amino functionality and an acid functionality, including amino acid analogs and derivatives.

The terms “amino acid residue” and “peptide residue” are art-recognized and refer to an amino acid or peptide molecule without the —OH of its carboxyl group.

The term “amino acid residue” further includes analogs, derivatives and congeners of any specific amino acid referred to herein, as well as C-terminal or N-terminal protected amino acid derivatives (e.g. modified with an N-terminal or C-terminal protecting group).

The names of the natural amino acids are abbreviated herein in accordance with the recommendations of IUPAC-IUB.

A “reversed” or “retro” peptide sequence as disclosed herein refers to that part of an overall sequence of covalently-bonded amino acid residues (or analogs or mimetics thereof) wherein the normal carboxyl-to amino direction of peptide bond formation in the amino acid backbone has been reversed such that, reading in the conventional left-to-right direction, the amino portion of the peptide bond precedes (rather than follows) the carbonyl portion. See, generally, Goodman et al. Accounts of Chem. Res. 12:423 (1979).

The reversed orientation peptides described herein include (a) those wherein one or more amino-terminal residues are converted to a reversed (“rev”) orientation (thus yielding a second “carboxyl terminus” at the left-most portion of the molecule), and (b) those wherein one or more carboxyl-terminal residues are converted to a reversed (“rev”) orientation (yielding a second “amino terminus” at the right-most portion of the molecule). A peptide (amide) bond cannot be formed at the interface between a normal orientation residue and a reverse orientation residue.

Therefore, certain reversed peptide compounds of the invention may be formed by utilizing an appropriate amino acid mimetic moiety to link the two adjacent portions of the sequences depicted above utilizing a reversed peptide (reversed amide) bond.

The reversed direction of bonding in such compounds will generally, in addition, require inversion of the enantiomeric configuration of the reversed amino acid residues in order to maintain a spatial orientation of side chains that is similar to that of the non-reversed peptide. The configuration of amino acids in the reversed portion of the peptides is usually (D), and the configuration of the non-reversed portion is usually (L). Opposite or mixed configurations are acceptable when appropriate to optimize a binding activity.

The term “nucleic acid” is art-recognized and refers to polynucleotides such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and, where appropriate, ribonucleic acid (RNA).

The term “homology” is art-recognized and refers to sequence similarity between two peptides or between two nucleic acid molecules.

The term “operably linked” is art-recognized and refers to the relationship between two nucleic acid regions, means that they are functionally related to each other.

The term “antisense” nucleic acid is art-recognized and refers to oligonucleotides which specifically hybridize (e.g., bind) under cellular conditions with a gene sequence, such as at the cellular mRNA and/or genomic DNA level, so as to inhibit expression of that gene, e.g., by inhibiting transcription and/or translation. The binding may be by conventional base pair complementarily, or, for example, in the case of binding to DNA duplexes, through specific interactions in the major groove of the double helix.

The term “host cell” is art-recognized and refers to a cell transduced with a specified transfer vector. The cell is optionally selected from in vitro cells such as those derived from cell culture, ex vivo cells, such as those derived from an organism, and in vivo cells, such as those in an organism. “Recombinant host cells” refers to cells which have been transformed or transfected with vectors constructed using recombinant DNA techniques.

The terms “recombinant protein,” “heterologous protein” and “exogenous protein” are art-recognized and are used interchangeably to refer to a polypeptide which is produced by recombinant DNA techniques, wherein generally, DNA encoding the polypeptide is inserted into a suitable expression vector which is in turn used to transform a host cell to produce the heterologous protein. That is, the polypeptide is expressed from a heterologous nucleic acid.

The term “regulatory element” is art-recognized and refers to nucleotide sequences (such as DNA sequences) that induce or control transcription of protein coding sequences with which they are operably linked. Examples of regulatory elements categorized by function include initiation signals, enhancers, promoters and the like. Exemplary regulatory elements are described in Goeddel; Methods in Enzymology 185 (1990). In certain embodiments, transcription of a gene or other DNA is under the control of a promoter sequence (or other regulatory element) which controls the expression of a coding sequence in a cell-type in which expression is intended. A variety of promoters categorized by function are known. The term “tissue-specific promoter” means a DNA sequence that serves as a promoter, i.e., regulates expression of a selected DNA sequence operably linked to the promoter, and which effects expression of the selected DNA sequence in specific cells of a tissue, such as cells of a urogenital origin, e.g., renal cells, or cells of a neural origin, e.g., neuronal cells. The term also covers so-called “leaky” promoters, which regulate expression of a selected DNA primarily in one tissue, but cause expression in other tissues as well. The term “inducible” promoter refers to a promoter which is under environmental or developmental regulation. The term “constitutive” promoter refers to a promoter which is active under most environmental and developmental conditions.

The term “transfection” is art-recognized and refers to the introduction of a nucleic acid, e.g., an expression vector, into a recipient cell, which in certain embodiments may be by nucleic acid-mediated gene transfer. “Transformation,” as used with respect to transfected nucleic acid, is an art-recognized term and refers to a process in which a cell's genotype is changed as a result of the cellular uptake of exogenous nucleic acid.

The term “transfer vector” is art-recognized and refers to a first nucleic acid molecule to which a second nucleic acid has been linked, and includes for example plasmids, cosmids or phages (as discussed in greater detail below). In certain embodiments of the present invention, the therapeutic agent is the second nucleic acid. One type of transfer vector is an episome, i.e., a nucleic acid capable of extra-chromosomal replication.

In certain embodiments, a transfer vector may be an “expression vector,” which refers to a replicable DNA construct used to express DNA which encodes the desired protein and which includes a transcriptional unit comprising an assembly of (i) genetic element(s) having a regulatory role in gene expression, for example, promoters, operators, or enhancers, operatively linked to (ii) a DNA sequence encoding a desired protein which is transcribed into mRNA and translated into protein, and (iii) appropriate transcription and translation initiation and termination sequences. In certain embodiments, the therapeutic agent is the DNA sequence. The choice of promoter and other regulatory elements generally varies according to the intended host cell. In general, expression vectors of utility in recombinant DNA techniques are often in the form of “plasmids,” which refer to circular double stranded DNA loops which, in their vector form are not bound to the chromosome. The invention is intended to include such other forms of expression vectors which serve equivalent functions and which become known in the art subsequently hereto.

Certain transfer vectors may contain regulatory elements for controlling transcription or translation, which may be generally derived from mammalian, microbial, viral or insect genes. The ability to replicate in a host, usually conferred by an origin of replication, and a selection gene to facilitate recognition of transformants, may additionally be incorporated.

The design of any transfer vector may depend on such factors as the choice of the host cell to be transformed and/or the type of protein desired to be expressed. Moreover, the vector's copy number, the ability to control that copy number and the expression of any other proteins encoded by the vector, such as antibiotic markers (e.g., ampicillin), may also be considered.

The term “transgenic animal” is art-recognized and refers to any animal, often a non-human mammal, a bird or an amphibian, in which one or more of the cells of the animal contain nucleic acid introduced by way of human intervention, such as by transgenic techniques well known in the art. Such nucleic acid may be referred to as a “transgene.” The nucleic acid is introduced into the cell, directly or indirectly by introduction into a precursor of the cell, by way of deliberate genetic manipulation, such as by microinjection or by infection with a recombinant virus. The term genetic manipulation does not include classical cross-breeding, or in vitro fertilization, but rather is directed to the introduction of a recombinant DNA molecule. This molecule may be integrated within a chromosome, or it may be extrachromosomally replicating DNA. A transgene may be partly or entirely heterologous, i.e., foreign, to the transgenic animal or cell into which it is introduced, or, is homologous to an endogenous gene of the transgenic animal or cell into which it is introduced, but which is designed to be inserted, or is inserted, into the animal's genome in such a way as to alter the genome of the cell into which it is inserted (e.g., it is inserted at a location which differs from that of the natural gene or its insertion results in a knockout). A transgene may also be present in a cell in the form of an episome. A transgene may include one or more regulatory elements and any other nucleic acid, such as introns, that may be necessary for optimal expression of a selected nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, a transgene comprises a nucleic acid sequence of interest and one or more regulatory elements for controlling transcription of the nucleotide sequence encoded by such nucleic acid sequence, e.g., the regulatory element is operably linked to a nucleic acid.

In certain embodiments, the transgene or other therapeutic agent may be a “gene therapy construct,” which is an expression vector which may alter the phenotype of a cell when taken up by the cell, or a gene construct. In certain embodiments, the gene therapy construct may be a “recombinant coding sequence” which encodes a polypeptide, or is transcribable to an antisense nucleic acid, a ribozyme, or any other RNA product which alters the phenotype of the cell in which it is produced. “Recombinant gene” refers to a genetic construct including a “recombinant coding sequence.”

The term “antibody” is art-recognized and refers to whole antibodies, e.g., of any isotype (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, etc.), and includes fragments thereof which are also specifically reactive with a vertebrate, e.g., mammalian, protein. Antibodies may be fragmented using conventional techniques and the fragments screened for utility in the same manner as described above for whole antibodies. Thus, the term includes segments of proteolytically-cleaved or recombinantly-prepared portions of an antibody molecule that are capable of selectively reacting with a certain protein. Non-limiting examples of such proteolytic and/or recombinant fragments include Fab, F(ab′)2, Fab′, Fv, and single chain antibodies (scFv) containing a V[L] and/or V[H] domain joined by a peptide linker. The scFv's may be covalently or non-covalently linked to form antibodies having two or more binding sites. The subject invention includes polyclonal, monoclonal or other purified preparations of antibodies and recombinant antibodies.

Synthetic Routes to Compounds of Formula I

A generalized chemical approach to assembling compounds of formula I is based on viewing the analogs as consisting of a central ene-amide flanked left-hand side (LHS) and right-hand side (RHS) moieties. Schematically, this is depicted in FIG. 2. Two possible bond disconnections envisioned in a retrosynthetic sense are shown with dashed lines. Schemes Ito XXXV illustrate some of the general methods that can be used in the synthesis of compounds of formula I. It will be recognized by one skilled in the art that other disconnections are possible resulting in alternative modes of assembly of the compounds of the invention.

Schemes I to VIII disclose the basic chemistry involved in the synthesis of the left hand side moieties of formula I wherein the requisite LHS coupling partners are amines and the late stage chemistry involves formation of the amide linkage. The amines are typically arylalky-amines which are most conveniently prepared from comercially available arylcarbaldehydes by the action of a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride in the presence of an alkyl amine such as methyl amine (Scheme I).

When the arylcarbaldehydes are not comercially available their synthesis can be effected by a number of general methods including the action of dimethylformamide on the lithium salt of aryl anions (Scheme Iib and IIIa).

Other methods of obtaining the desired arylcarbaldehydes include the widely employed oxidation of alcohols (Scheme Ivb) and a variety of miscellaneous methods (Scheme Va and Via).

During the course of these syntheses it may be desirable to alkylate indole-like nitrogens This can be accomplished either prior to (Scheme IIa) or after formation of said carbaldehydes (Scheme Ivc) by the action of strong bases such as sodium hydride and the addition of alkylating agents such as alkyl halides. Likewise oxygen atoms appended to the aromatic systems (e.g. phenols) can be alkylated by the action of base (potassium carbonate) and an alkylhalide (Scheme VIIa).

Yet another approach to the formation of the desired amines can be from the reduction of precursor amides (Scheme VIII)

Scheme IX describes the basic chemistry involved in the synthesis of the left hand side moieties of formula I wherein the requisite LHS coupling partners are ene-amides and the late stage chemistry involves formation of a carbon-carbon bond. The carbon-carbon bond formation is usually accomplished by Heck type chemistry which will be described subsequently. The ene-amide is prepared by activation of acylic acid to undergo coupling reaction (with an amine) by any one of the known methods for amide bond formation. One typically used procedure is to treat acrylic acid with a solution of a tertiary amine in DMF followed by the addition of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate and a carbodiimde such as 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethyl-carbodiimide hydrochloride. The reaction mixture is then treated with the desired arylalkylamine such as methyl-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-amine (Scheme IX).

Schemes X to XXIV disclose the basic chemistry involved in the synthesis of the right hand side moieties of formula I wherein the requisite RHS coupling partners are carboxylic acids and the late stage chemistry involves formation of the amide linkage. The carboxylic acids are typically arylalkenyl carboxylic acids whose preparation is illustrated by the schemes described below. A common starting material, 5-bromo-3-bromomethyl-pyridin-2-ylamine hydrobromide, is used in the construction of the right hand side moieties described in Schemes X-XVII. In some embodiments of the invention, this material is reacted with a commercial secondary amine (Schemes X-XII) or reacted with a secondary amine which is prepared in the manner illustrated (Schemes XIII-XIV). In either case, a tertiary base is employed. A common feature of the resultant products are compounds incorporating a pendent alkyl ester and an aminopyridine moiety which react in the presence of a base like sodium hydride to form the pyridodiazepinone bicyclic unit.

The pyridodiazepinones prepared in this manner have in common a bromine substitution in the pyridine ring. As will be seen from inspection of the Schemes X-XIV synthesis of arylalkenyl acids proceeds from intermediary bromo-pyridodiazepinones via Heck chemistry (e.g. Scheme Xc). Heck chemistry is carried out by admixture of an arylbromide with an alkylacrylate, such as tert-butylacrylate, in the presence of a palladium catalyst (Pd(OAc)₂, P(o-tol)₃) and a tertiary base such as di-(isopropyl)ethylamine in an appropriate solvent or solvents (e.g. DMF and EtCN). The desired carboxylic acid is obtained by acid-catalysed hydrolysis of the tert-butyl ester (e.g. Scheme Xd).

In an analogous way to the chemistry described above, 5-bromo-3-bromomethyl-pyridin-2-ylamine hydrobromide, may be reacted with primary amines (Scheme XVI, XVII, XVIII); subsequent cyclization with sodium hydride yields a pyridodiazepinone in which the nitrogen at the four position is unsubstituted. In Scheme XVI the final product represents a right hand side moiety of formula I wherein the requisite RHS coupling partners is an aryl bromide and the late stage chemistry involves formation of a carbon-carbon bond via Heck chemistry. One skilled in the art will recognize that the intermediate aryl bromides described in Schemes X-XX may also be used in late stage carbon-carbon bond forming chemistry.

Alternatively, the nitrogen at position four may be derivatized by reaction with alkylating (Scheme XVIIc) or acylating agents (Scheme XVIIIc). In the former case, further elaboration (Scheme XVIId,e) yields a derivatized bromopyridodiazepinone which is subjected to standard Heck coupling/deprotection sequence to give the desired acid. In the latter case, the CBz-protected pyridodiazepinone is similarly treated (Scheme XVIII).

5-Bromo-3-bromomethyl-pyridin-2-ylamine hydrobromide, may also be reacted with cyclic secondary amines (Scheme XIX); the desired acid is obtained in the usual way.

Right hand sides in which an aminopyridine ring is derivatized via an amide linkage may be realized by reaction of 2-amino-5-bromonicotinic acid hydrobromide with primary amines. Heck coupling and hydrolysis gives the desired acid (Scheme XX)

Schemes XXI-XXIV are illustrative of methods use for preparing RHS moieties wherein 3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-ones are incorporated as RHS moieties. Schemes XXI-XXIII show preparations wherein carboxylic acids are prepared and end stage chemistry involves amide bond formation, scheme XXIV shows preparation of an aryl bromide employed in carbon-carbon bond forming end stage chemistry.

In each case an intermediate aminomethyl aminopyridine is prepared by amide bond reduction (Scheme XXI), reductive amination of aldehydes (Scheme XXII and Scheme XXIV) or, as described above in Scheme XVII, by displacement of an benzylic bromide with the desired primary amine. The latter method yields the starting material for Scheme XXIII. The subsequent step, common to all cases, is cyclization using carbonyl diimidazole to form the 3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrimidin-2-one ring. Other activated carbonyl equivalents are expected to affect a similar cyclization. In Schemes XXI-XXIII further elaboration using Heck coupling and hydrolysis gives the desired carboxylic acid RHS moieties.

Schemes XXV and XXVI are illustrative of the methods used for preparing (E)-3-(2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)-acrylic acid and (E)-3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-6-yl)-acrylic acid right hand sides respectivley.

Schemes XXVII describes a specific example of a general method for assembly of compounds of formula I wherein the LHS coupling partners are amines, the RHS coupling partners are acids and the late stage chemistry involves formation of the amide linkage. There are many common methods for formation of amide linkages. In the example depicted in Scheme XXVII an acid ((E)-3-(4-methyl-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-e][1,4]diazepin-7-yl)-acrylic acid) is activated by treatment with a carbodiimide (EDC) and hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) in the presence of a polar aprotic solvent (DMF) and reacted with a suitable amine (N-methyl-N-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)amine) in the presence of a tertiary amine base like diisopropylethylamine.

An alternative method for assembling compounds of formula I, generally referred to as Heck coupling, is depicted in Scheme XVIII. An acrylic amide such as N-methyl-N-(3-methyl-benzo[b]thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-acrylamide is treated with an aryl bromide such as 7-bromo-3,3-dimethyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-pyrido[2,3-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one in the presence of a palladium catalyst (Pd(OAc)₂, P(o-tol)₃), a tertiary amine ((I—Pr)₂EtN) and an aprotic solvent or solvents (EtCN, DMF).

To access certain compounds of the invention it may be necessary to perform synthetic manipulations after the right hand side and left hand side units have been assembled. Scheme XXIX for example outlines the conversion of an aminopyridine moiety to a cyclic imide followed by ring opening with ammonia.

Additional examples of aminopyridine derivatization are given in Schemes XXX and XXXI which describe the acylation of the amine moeity to form amide linkages.

In certain aspects of the invention it is desirable to have pyridodiazepinones in place on the right hand side with unsubstituted 4-position nitrogen. In these instances a suitable protecting group such as methoxybenzyl can temporarily mask the nitrogen. This protecting group may be removed in a two-step procedure by treatment with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate carbamate. The hydrochloride salt may be prepared, if desired, through treatment with dilute acid (HCl) in an aprotic solvent such as ether (Scheme XXXII).

Schemes XXXIII and XXXIV respectively show methods for conversion of ester and dimethylether ether groups pendent on a 3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-one right hand side to piperidine-containing tethers. These chemical manipulations are caned out after the standard coupling reactions described above are applied (e.g. Scheme XXVII or XXVIII).

Scheme XXXV illustrates a method of compound construction falling outside the general methods described above in that a dicarboxylic acid, prepared as in Scheme XXXIVa, is reacted with two equivalents of arylmethylamine using the standard amide couping conditions.

Synthetic Routes to Compounds of Formulas II and III

Examples of the compounds of formulas II and III in the antibacterial compositions of the present invention may be prepared by the general methods described in the Schemes hereinafter.

A suitable haloaromatic derivative, for instance 2-amino-5-bromopyridine (XXXVI-1), reacts with an appropriate α,β-unsaturated ester, for example benzyl acrylate, in a Heck-type reaction to afford XXXVI-2. The reaction is mediated by a palladium(0) species, and generally is conducted in an inert solvent, such as CH₃CN, propionitrile, or toluene, in the presence of an appropriate acid scavenger, such as triethylamine (Et₃N) or diisopropylethylamine ((i-Pr)₂NEt). Typical sources of the palladium(0) species include palladium (II) acetate (Pd(OAc)₂) and palladium(II) chloride (PdCl₂), and oftentimes phosphine ligands, for instance triphenylphosphine (PPh₃) or tri-ortho-tolylphosphine (P(tol)₃), are included. The ethyl ester of XXXVI-2 is hydrolyzed using aqueous base, for example, LiOH in aqueous THF or NaOH in aqueous methanol or ethanol, and the intermediate carboxylate salt is acidified with a suitable acid, for instance TFA or HCl, to afford the carboxylic acid XXXVI-3. The carboxylic acid of XXXVI-3 is converted to an activated form using, for example, EDC and HOBt, or SOCl₂, and the activated form is subsequently reacted with an appropriate amine, for instance 1-methyl-2-(methylaminomethyl)indole, in a suitable solvent such as DMF, CH₂Cl₂, or CH₃CN, to afford XXXVI-4. Depending on whether acid neutralization is required, an added base, such as triethylamine (Et₃N), diisopropylethylamine ((i-Pr)₂NEt), or pyridine, may be used. Many additional methods for converting a carboxylic acid to an amide are known, and can be found in standard reference books, such as “Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods”, Vol. I-VI (published by Wiley-Interscience), or Bodansky, “The Practice of Peptide Synthesis” (published by Springer-Verlag).

The amine coupling partners used in the present invention were prepared by established methods well-known to those of skill in the art. For example, amine XXXVII-4 is prepared by the straightforward procedure outlined in Scheme II. Commercially available ethyl indole-2-carboxylate (XXXVII-1) is deprotonated with a suitable base, generally sodium hydride (NaH), and the intermediate sodium salt is reacted with an appropriate alkylating agent, for instance methyl iodide, to afford XXXVII-2. Polar solvents such as DMF, THF, or mixtures thereof are generally preferred for this reaction. Compound XXXVII-2 can be conveniently converted to XXXVII-3 by reaction with an excess of an amine, such as methylamine, in a polar solvent, generally H₂O or a mixture of H₂O and methanol. Alternatively, the ester of XXXVII-2 can be saponified under standard conditions, typically with an alkali metal hydroxide such as LiOH, NaOH, or KOH, in an aqueous solvent, such as THF, ethanol, or methanol, and the resulting carboxylic acid can be converted to the desired amide. Typical methods for forming amides are described in Scheme I. Reduction of the amide XXXVII-3 to the amine XXXVII-4 is typically accomplished with lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH₄) in refluxing THF, although many other methods can be used to reduce amides to amines. Such methods are well-known to those of skill in the art, and can be found in standard reference volumes, such as “Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods” (published by Wiley-Interscience).

The amine coupling partners used in the present invention can also be prepared by the reductive amination of an appropriate aldehyde (Scheme III). This method, which is well-known to those of skill in the art, involves the initial conversion of an aldehyde to an intermediate imine, which is subsequently reduced, oftentimes in situ, to afford the amine. For example, the commercially-available aldehyde XXXVIII-1 reacts with an appropriate amine, for instance methylamine, in a suitable solvent, typically methanol, to afford the imine XXXVIII-2. Reaction of XXXVIII-2 with a suitable reducing agent, for example sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium (triacetoxy)borohydride, gives the amine XXXVIII-3.

Commercially available 2-aminonicotinic acid (XXXIX-1) is reduced to alcohol XXXIX-2 under standard conditions (LiAlH₄, THF), and the aromatic ring of XXXIX-2 is brominated using, for example, bromine or N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), in a suitable solvent such as CH₂Cl₂, acetic acid (AcOH), or mixtures thereof, to afford XXXIX-3. On reaction with 48% aqueous HBr, XXXIX-3 is converted to bromide XXXIX-4, which reacts with a diester of malonic acid, for instance dimethyl malonate, under basic conditions, to afford the naphthyridone derivative XXXIX-5. Typical basic conditions include an alkali metal hydride, for instance sodium hydride, in a neutral solvent such as DMF, THF, or mixtures thereof, or an alkali metal alkoxide, such as sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide, in an alcoholic solvent such as with methanol or ethanol. Saponification and neutralization under standard conditions affords an intermediate carboxylic acid (not shown), which is typically not isolated, but is subject to decarboxylation on gentle warming to afford the naphthyridone XXXIX-6. This compound reacts with acrylamide XXXIX-8 in a Heck-type reaction as described in Scheme Ito afford XXXIX-9. Alternatively, XXXIX-6 might be converted to XXXIX-9 according to the general procedure described in Scheme I for the conversion of XXXVI-1 to XXXVI-4. The acrylamide XXXIX-8 is conveniently prepared by reaction of amine XXXIX-7 (see Scheme I) with an activated form of acrylic acid in an amide bond-forming reaction. Typical conditions for the formation of amides are described in Scheme I, and are well-known to those of skill in the art.

Benzylic bromide XL-1, prepared as described in Scheme XXXIX, reacts with an amine, for example aqueous methylamine, to afford benzylic amine XL-2. Polar solvents such as THF, DMF, DMSO, or mixture thereof, are generally preferred for this reaction. XL-2 reacts with a dialkyl carbonate, preferably dimethyl carbonate, in the presence of a suitable base, typically sodium methoxide, in an alcoholic solvent, generally methanol, to afford the cyclic urea derivative XL-3. This compound is converted to XL-4 by reaction with compound XXXIX-8 as described in Scheme XXXIX.

The nitro group of commercially available 2-amino-5-bromo-3-nitropyridine (XLI-1) is reduced under standard conditions using, for example, tin (II) chloride in EtOH. The resulting diamine, XLI-2, reacts with formic acid, or an appropriate equivalent, to afford the imidazopyridine derivative XLI-3. This compound is converted to a suitably protected derivative, for instance the N-trityl protected derivative XLI-4, by reaction with trityl chloride in the presence of an appropriate base, typically triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine. Typical solvents for this reaction include CH₂Cl₂, DMF, or mixtures thereof. The protecting group for the amine must be compatible with subsequent chemistry, and must be readily removable when desired. Methods for the protection of amines are well-known to those of skill in the art, and are described in standard reference volumes, such as Greene “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis” (published by Wiley-Interscience). XLI-4 is converted to XLI-5 according to the general procedure described in Scheme I. The trityl protecting group is removed under standard acidic conditions (see Greene above), and the ester is saponified as in Scheme Ito afford XLI-6.

Commercially-available tetrahydroquinoline (XLII-1) is condensed with an appropriate aldehyde, typically benzaldehyde (PhCHO), under standard conditions to afford the olefinic derivative XLII-2. Oxidative cleavage of the exocyclic olefin affords ketone XLII-3. Generally, ozonolysis in a neutral solvent, such as methylene chloride (CH₂Cl₂), methanol (MeOH), or mixtures thereof, followed by in situ reduction of the intermediate ozonide with an appropriate reducing agent, usually dimethylsulfide, is the method of choice for this transformation. Compound XLII-3 is converted to the 7-membered lactam derivative XLII-6 as described by Jossang-Yanagida and Gansser. This procedure involves conversion of the ketone of XLII-3 to the corresponding oxime XLII-4, which is subsequently converted to the O-tosyl derivative XLII-5. A Beckmann-type rearrangement of XLII-5 affords the lactam XLII-6. Bromination of XLII-6 with a suitable brominating agent, such as bromine (Br₂) or N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), affords the bromo derivative XLII-7. Typical solvents for a bromination reaction include CH₂Cl₂, CCl₄, MeOH, AcOH, or mixtures thereof. Bromide VII-7 reacts with an appropriate a4-unsaturated ester, for example tert-butyl acrylate, in a Heck-type reaction as described in Scheme Ito afford XLII-8. The tert-butyl ester of XLII-8 is cleaved to the corresponding carboxylic acid XLII-9 under standard acidic conditions. Typical conditions for this transformation are described in standard reference volumes, such as Greene “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis” (published by Wiley-Interscience). XLII-9 is converted to XLII-10 by the general method described in Scheme I.

Compound XLIII-1, prepared as described in Scheme XL, reacts with two equivalents of an appropriate acylating agent, preferably di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, to afford XLIII-2. As discussed in Scheme XLI, the protecting group for the amines must be compatible with subsequent chemistry, and must be readily removable when desired. XLIII-2 is deprotonated with a suitable base, generally sodium hydride (NaH), and the intermediate sodium salt is reacted with an appropriate alkylating agent, for instance ethyl bromoacetate, to afford XLIII-3. Polar solvents such as DMF, THE, or mixtures thereof are generally preferred for this reaction. The Boc protecting groups are removed under standard acidic conditions (see Greene above) to afford XLIII-4, which undergoes cyclization to compound XLIII-5 on exposure to a suitable base, typically triethylamine (Et₃N) or diisopropylethylamine ((i-Pr)₂NEt). An inert solvent, such as toluene, is preferred. XLIII-5 is converted to XLIII-6 by the general method described in Scheme XXXIX.

Commercially available 2,5-dibromopyridine (XLIV-1) reacts with 2-aminopyridine in the presence of a suitable base, typically sodium tert-butoxide, to afford the dipyridylamine derivative XLIV-2. The reaction is mediated by a suitable palladium (0) catalyst, such as tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0), in the presence of an appropriate ligand, for example 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane. A neutral solvent such as toluene is preferred.

Benzylic bromide XLV-1, prepared as described in Scheme XXXIX, reacts with an appropriate a-aminoester equivalent, for example N-(diphenylmethylene)glycine ethyl ester, under basic conditions, to provide XLV-2. A polar, aprotic solvent, such as DMF, THF, DME, or mixtures thereof, is generally preferred, and sodium hydride is typically the base of choice, although LDA or LiN(TMS)₂ might also be used. Alternatively, the reaction might be conducted in an alcoholic solvent, such as methanol or ethanol, with an alkali metal alkoxide, for example sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide, as the base. The diphenylmethylene group is conveniently removed under acidic conditions, such as HCl in aqueous dioxane. Other conditions for the removal of a diphenylmethylene group are known to those of skill in the art, and can be found in the chemical literature or in standard reference volumes, such as Greene (see above).

It will be recognized by one skilled in the art that other methods of LHS and RHS synthesis can be employed in the preparation of said intermediates. Likewise other methods of amide and/or carbon-carbon bond formation may be used to assemble the compounds of the invention. It is also apparent that combinations of LHS and RHS other than those described above can be envisioned to prepare compounds falling within the scope of the invention as represented by formulas I-III. These possibilities are further detailed in the preparations and examples section to follow.

Acid addition salts of the compounds of formulas I-III can be prepared in a standard manner in a suitable solvent from the parent compound and an excess of an acid, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydrofluoric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, trifluoroacetic, maleic, succinic or methanesulfonic. Certain of the compounds form inner salts or zwitterions which may be acceptable. Cationic salts may be prepared by treating the parent compound with an excess of an alkaline reagent, such as a hydroxide, carbonate or alkoxide, containing the appropriate cation; or with an appropriate organic amine. Cations such as Li⁺, Nat K⁺, Ca⁺⁺, Mg⁺⁺ and NH₄ ⁺are some non-limiting examples of cations present in pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

Other non-limiting examples of bioactive agents that may be used in the compositions of the present invention include antibiotics suchs as cephalosporins, quinolones and fluoroquinolones, penicillins, penicillins and beta lactamase inhibitors, carbepenems, monobactams, macrolides and lincosamines, glycopeptides, rifampin, oxazolidonones, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, streptogramins, sulfonamides, peptide antibiotics and derivatives such as glycopeptides and lipopeptides, oxasolidinones, streptogramins, trimethoprim-sulfomethoxazole, quinupristin-dalfopristin, lincosamides, aminoglycosides, tetracyclins, glycylcyclines, and others. Each family comprises many members.

Cephalosporins

Cephalosporins are a class of β-lactam antibiotics derived from 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA). β-lactam antibiotics disrupt cell wall synthesis by interfering with the final crosslinking (transpeptidation) step of the peptidoglycan layer. Cephalosporins have the same mechanism of action as penicillins, but have a broader antibacterial spectrum and are resistant to β-lactamase. Cephalosporins may be commonly used when the sensitivity of the bacterium is not known or when there is a known allergy to penicillins.

Cephalosporins are further categorized by generation. Non-limiting examples of cephalosporins by generation include the following. Examples of generation I cephalosporins include cefadroxil, cefazolin, cephalexin, cephalothin, cephapirin, and cephradine. Examples of generation II cephalosporins include cefaclor, cefamandol, cefonicid, cefotetan, cefoxitin, cefprozil, ceftmetazole, cefuroxime, cefuroxime axetil, and loracarbef. Examples of generation III cephalosporins include cefdinir, ceftibuten, cefditoren, cefetamet, cefotiam HCl, cefpodoxime, cefprozil, cefuroxime (axetil), cefuroxime (sodium), cefoperazone, cefixime, cefotaxime, cefpodoxime proxetil, ceftazidime, ceftizoxime, ceftriaxone, and moxalactam. Examples of generation IV cephalosporins include cefepime and ceftobiprole.

Quinolones and Fluoroquinolones

Quinolones and fluoroquinolones are a class of broad-spectrum antibiotics that are derived from nalidixic acid. Quinolones and fluoroquinolones act bacteriocidically by inhibiting DNA replication, synthesis, and transcription by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrases and topoisomerases.

Non-limiting examples of quinolones and fluoroquinolones include amifloxacin, cinoxacin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, enoxacin, fleroxacin, flumequine, garenoxacin, gatifloxacin, gemifloxacin, grepafloxacin, levofloxacin, lomefloxacin, moxifloxacin, nalidixic acid, norfloxacin, oxolinic acid, ofloxacin, olamufloxacin, perfloxacin, pipemidic, rosoxacin, rufloxacin, sparfloxacin, trovafloxacin, and tosufloxacin.

Penicillins

Penicillins are a class of β-lactam antibiotics derived from 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). Similar to cephalosporins, penicillins interfere with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall by inhibiting a final crosslinking step in the peptidoglycan layer. Penicillins has a molecular formula R—C₉H₁₁N₂O₄S, where R is a variable side chain.

Non-limiting examples of penicillins include amoxicillin, ampicillin, bacampicillin, carbenicillin, carbenicillin indanyl, mezlocillin, piperacillin, and ticarcillin.

Penicillins and Beta Lactamase Inhibitors

Bacteria may become resistant to penicillins because some penicillins are sensitive to β-lactamase. β-lactamase is a bacterial enzyme that can hydrolyze the β-lactam bond of β-lactam antibiotics. Beta-lactamase inhibitors, including but not limited to clavulanic acid and sulbactam, irreversibly bind to and inhibit bacterial β-lactamases. Inhibition of β-lactamases prevents the hydrolysis of the β-lactam bond present in β-lactam antibiotics, such that the β-lactam antibiotic may enter the cell and disrupt bacterial cell wall synthesis.

Non-limiting examples of penicillins and beta-lactamase inhibitors include amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, ampicillin-sulbactam, benzylpenicillin, cloxacillin, dicloxacillin, methicillin, oxacillin, penicillin G (benzathine, potassium, procaine), penicillin V, piperacillin+tazobactam, ticarcillin+clavulanic acid, and nafcillin.

Carbepenems

Carbapenems are broad spectrum β-lactam antibiotics that may be used to treat both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Non-limiting examples of carbepenems include doripenem, imipenem-cilastatin, and meropenem.

Monobactams

Monobactams are monocyclic β-lactam antibiotics. Monobactams are narrow-spectrum antibiotics that may be used to treat gram-negative bacteria (e.g., Psuedomonas, Enterobacteriaceae).

A non-limiting example of a monobactam includes aztreonam.

Macrolides, Ketolides, and Lincosamines

Macrolides are a class of antibiotics that contain a macrolide ring, which is a large lactone ring comprising one or more deoxy sugars such as cladinose and desoamine. The lactone ring may be either 14, 15, or 16-membered. Macrolides are broad spectrum antibiotics and are commonly used to treat respiratory and soft tissue infections. Macrolides may also be used to treat patients infected with a gram-positive organism who are allergic to penicillins. Macrolides bind to 50S ribosomal subunit and disrupt protein synthesis.

Ketolides are a class of macrolide antibiotics that are derived from erythromycin. Ketolides are formed by substituting the cladinose sugar of erythromycin with a keto-group and attaching a cyclic carbamate group to the lactone ring. Ketolides inhibit protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes and are broader spectrum antibiotics compared to macrolides.

Lincosamines have similar mechanism of action to macrolides and inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the ribosome.

Non-limiting examples of macrolides and lincosamines include azithromycin, clarithromycin, clindamycin, dirithromycin, erythromycin, lincomycin, telithromycin, and troleandomycin.

Glycopeptides

Glycopeptides are a class of antibiotics that consist of glycosylated cyclic or polycyclic nonribosomal peptide. Glycopeptides inhibit the biosynthesis of the bacterial cell wall by binding to peptidoglycan precursors.

Non-limiting examples of glycopeptides include dalbavancin, oritavancin, telavancin, teicoplanin and vancomycin.

Rifamycins

Rifamycins are a class of antibiotics that bind to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and inhibit the initiation of RNA synthesis.

Non-limiting examples of rifamycins include rifabutin, rifampin, and rifapentine.

Oxazolidonones

Oxazolidinones are a class of antibiotics that inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the ribosome to prevent translation.

A non-limiting example of oxazolidinones includes linezolid.

Tetracyclines

Tetracyclines are a class of antibiotics that inhibit cell growth by inhibiting protein synthesis, specifically translation (i.e., blocking the binding of tRNA to the 30S ribosomal subunit). Tetracyclines are broad spectrum antibiotics, but because the interaction of tetracyclines with the ribosome is weak and reversible, tetracycline is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. Resistance to tetracyclines results from one of two mechanisms: efflux or ribosomal protection. Efflux occurs when a resistance gene encodes a membrane protein that can actively pump tetracycline out of the cell. Ribosomal protection occurs when a resistance gene encodes a protein that binds to the ribosome and prevents tetracycline from binding to the ribosome.

Non-limiting examples of tetracyclines include demeclocycline, doxycycline, doxycycline hyclate, methacycline, minocycline, oxytetracycline, tetracycline, and chlortetracycline.

Aminoglycosides

Aminoglycosides are class of antibiotics containing an aminocyclitol ring and one or more amino sugars. Aminoglycosides inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by irreversibly binding to the ribosomes (e.g., the interface between the 30S and 50S subunit and additional sites on the individual subunits). Depending on where the aminoglycoside binds the ribosome, the antibiotic may prevent polysome formation or misreading of the mRNA. Aminoglycosides may be used to treat many gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Resistance to aminoglycosides may occur if there is a mutation in a ribosome binding site, decreased uptake of the antibiotic into the bacterial cell, or enzymatic modification (e.g., phosphorylation or acetylation) of the antibiotic.

Non-limiting examples of aminoglycosides include amikacin, amikacin sulfate, gentamicin, gentamicin sulfate, kanamycin, metilmicin, neomycin, netilmicin, streptomycin, tobramycin, and paromomycin.

Streptogramins

Streptogramins are a class of natural cyclic peptide antibiotics that inhibit bacterial growth. Streptogramins consist of at least two structurally unrelated molecules: group A streptogramins (macrolactones) and group B streptrogramins (cycli hexadepsipeptides). In some embodiments, Groups A and B act synergistically to inhibit protein synthesis.

A non-limiting example of streptogramins includes quinopristin+dalfopristin.

Sulfonamides

Sulfonamides, which are also known as sulfa drugs, are a class of antibiotics derived from sulfonic acid. Sulfonamides are competitive inhibitors of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), a substrate of the enzyme dihyropteroate synthetase, and thus, inhibit bacterial synthesis of folic acid. Sulfonamides are bacteriostatic against a wide-spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Non-limiting examples of sulfonamides include mafenide, silver sulfadiazine, sulfacetamide, sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole, sulfasalazine, sulfanilamide, sulfisoxazole, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and sulfamethizole.

Others

Non-limiting examples of other antibiotic agents include bacitracin, chloramphenicol, colistemetate, fosfomycin, isoniazid, methenamine, metronidazol, mupirocin, nitrofurantoin, nitrofurazone, novobiocin, polymyxin B, spectinomycin, trimethoprim, colistin, cycloserine, capreomycin, pyrazinamide, para-aminosalicyclic acid, erythromycin ethylsuccinate+sulfisoxazole, and tigecycline.

The anti-infective agents described herein may also be used to inhibit aspartate semidlehyde dehydrogenase, deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase, farnesyl disphosphate synthase, guanylate kinase, NH3-dependent NAD synthetase, hydroxymethyglutaryl-CoA reductase, peptide deformylase, peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase, phosphodiesterase, putative methylase yhhF, ribose-phosphate 3-epimerase, ribose-phosphate pryo-phosphokinase, thymidylate kinase, and xanthine phosphoribosyl transferase.

Toxicology of Compounds

Acute toxicity can be assessed using increasing doses in mice and rodents. Exploratory acute toxicity in mice and/or rats after single dose may be undertaken to begin estimation of the therapeutic window of inhibitors and to identify the potential target organis of toxicity. These studies may be combined with routine PK measurements to assure proper dosages were achieved. Generally 3-4 doses will be chosen that are estimated to span a range having no effect through to higher doses that cause major toxic, but non-lethal, effects.

Resistance Frequencies and Mechanisms of Compounds

In vitro resistance frequencies in bacteria of interest can be estimated for compounds of formula I. Experiments can determine whether resistant isolates arise when challenged to grow on solid media at 1×, 2× and 4×MIC concentrations. For example with respect to S. aureus or E. coli, the experiments may use several recent clinical isolates of methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant S. aureus and a laboratory strain of E. coli with acrA efflux pump defect. In addition, experiments may use several characterized triclosan-resistant S. aureus strains. The MICs of resistant strains isolated in this manner can then be determined. Subsequent experiments can determine whether resistant strains arise after serial passage of the strains in 0.5×MIC concentrations of each lead compound.

Mechanism of resistance may be determined in S. aureus laboratory strain, RN450 and in an E. coli laboratory strain carrying an acrA efflux pump mutation. Both high dose challenge (4×MIC) and sub-MIC serial passage may be used to obtain spontaneously arising resistant isolates. If no isolates are obtained with reasonable frequencies, chemical and physical mutagenesis methods can be used to obtain resistant isolates. The fabI gene from the chromosome of resistant isolates may be PCR amplified, then may be sequenced to determine whether changes in the FabI protein caused resistance. Triplicate PCR amplifications and sequences may be performed to assure that the observed sequence changes are correct, and did not arise from PCR errors during amplification. Strains carrying resistance mutations outside of the gene of interest may be documented and saved, characterized for their effects on susceptibilities of other antibiotics as evidence of possible efflux-mediated resistance mechanisms, characterized for their ability to alter compounds characterized for their effects on the expression of the specific mRNA and FabI protein.

Cloning of S. aureus FabI

The fabI gene was cloned from the chromosomal DNA of S. aureus strain WCUH29 using the polymerase chain reaction. Amplification was performed using Taq DNA polymerase (BRL) and the following primers: 5′-CGCCTCGAGATGTTAAATCTTGAAAACAAAACATATGTC-3′ and 5′-CGCGGATCCAATCAAGTCAGGTTGAAATATCCA-3′ (XhoI and BamHI sites underlined). The resulting fragment was then digested with XhoI and BamHI and ligated into XhoI- and BamHI-digested expression vector pET-16b (Novagen), producing pET-His₁₀-fabI. The gene sequence of fabI was confirmed by automated cycle sequencing using an Applied Biosystems model 377 machine. The untagged version of pET-fabI was constructed by digesting pET-His₁₀-fabI with NcoI and NdeI to remove a 97 by fragment encoding the His 10 tag, the factor Xa cleavage site and the first 8 amino acids of FabI, and replacing it with a linker encoding the first 8 amino acids of FabI plus a glycine residue between the initiator methionine and the lysine at position 2. This plasmid was called pET-fabI. The linker was made by annealing the following two oligonucleotides: 5′-CATGGGCTTAAATCTTGAAAACAAAACA-3′ and 5′-TATGTTTTGTTTTCAAGATTTAAGCC-3′. The linker sequence in pET-fabI was confirmed by dideoxy sequencing. Only native FabI was used for compound evaluation. For overproduction of native FabI, plasmid pET-fabI was transformed into BL21(DE3) (Novagen) cells, to form strain BL21(DE3):pET-fabI.

Purification of S. aureus FabI

S. aureus FabI was expressed as soluble protein to 10% of total cell protein, 400 g cells being recovered from 15 L fermentation in tryptone phosphate medium. The cells were lysed and the sample centrifuged. The resulting supernatant was filtered and purified using three consecutive chromatography columns: ion-exchange (Sourse 15Q), dye-affinity (Blue sepharose), and size exclusion chromatography columns (Superose 12). After each column the FabI containing fractions were pooled, concentrated, and checked for purity and biological activity.

Cloning/Expression Haemophilus influenzae FabI

The FabI gene was PCR amplified from Haemophilus influenzae (Q1) genomic DNA. Oligonucleotide primers were designed with unique restriction sites at both the N′ and C′ terminal ends of the gene to allow efficient sub-cloning into the expression vector pPROLar.

PCR amplification was performed using Pfu Turbo DNA polymerase as per the instructions of the manufacturer (Stratagene). The following cycling conditions were used: 95° C. for 3 minutes followed by 30 cycles of 94° C. 1 minute, 55° C. 1 minute and 72° C. 3 minutes. A final extension at 72° C. for 5 minutes was carried out. PCR products of expected size for Haemophilus influenzae FabI were cloned into the PCR cloning vector TOPO TA 2.1 as per instructions of the manufacturer (Invitrogen). The fidelity of the presumptive PCR amplified Haemophilus influenzae FabI gene was confirmed by DNA sequencing on both strands using an ABI 377 Automative DNA Sequencer (Applied Biosystems). pPROLar was digested with KpnI and Nod restriction endonucleases using conditions as recommended by the supplier (New England Biolabs). Purification of the linear plasmid, was achieved using agarose gel purification and the Qia-quick gel purification kit as per the protocol supplied by the manufacturer (Qiagen). The Haemophilus influenzae FabI gene was excised from TOPO TA 2.1 by KpnI and Nod restriction endonuclease digestion and purified as above. Subsequent fragment/vector ligations were carried out using T4 DNA ligase, using conditions supplied by the manufacturer (Promega).

Transformations into E. coli TOP 10 competent cells are performed using the protocol as supplied by the manufacturer (Invitrogen). Verification of the resultant clones are carried out using colony PCR and restriction endonuclease digestion. Positive clones were then transformed into the expression strain E. coli DH5αPRO, which expresses AraC in addition to the lac repressor.

Subsequent clones are then evaluated for expression at small-scale using the conditions as recommended by the manufacturer (Clontech). Expression analysis showed over-expressed protein bands of correct size for Haemophilus influenzae FabI clearly visible by SDS PAGE. Protein identity was further confirmed by peptide mass fingerprinting. Further analysis by N-terminal Amino Acid sequencing of the purified protein showed that the N-terminus starts 35 residues downstream of the presumptive initiation codon. DNA sequence analysis also highlighted the presence of a ribosome binding site upstream and correctly spaced from the new initiation codon. These findings match perfectly with E. coli FabI and the protein is also now a similar size to other FabIs. The over-expression construct has managed to use the correct ribosome binding site and start at the correct ATG to give the correct protein.

Purification of H. influenzae FabI

One liter of cells containing the H. influenzae FabI expression construct were grown to an OD600 of 0.6. Expression was induced as described above and the cells were grown for a further 3 h and then harvested. The cell pellet was re-suspended in 10 ml 50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 1 mM PMSF, 1 mM benzamidine, 1 mM DTT (buffer A) and lysed by sonication. Cell debris was removed by centrifugation. The supernatant was loaded onto a Hi-load Q (16/10) column (Pharmacia) equilibrated in buffer A. Protein was eluted over a 200 mL gradient of 0-100% buffer B, where buffer B is buffer A+1 M KCl. Fractions containing FabI were identified by SDS PAGE and by their FabI activity and pooled.

1.5 M ammonium sulfate was added to the pooled fractions and these were then loaded onto a Hi-load phenyl sepharose (16/10) column (Pharmacia) equilibrated in 50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 1 mM PMSF, 1 mM benzamidine, 1 mM DTT, 1.5 M ammonium sulfate. Proteins were eluted with a gradient of ammonium sulfate (1.5 to 0 M) over 200 mL. Fractions containing FabI were identified as above and pooled. The pooled fractions were buffer exchanged into 100 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 2 mM DTT and glycerol was then added to 50%. The protein was stored at −20° C. The identity of the protein was confirmed by N-terminal sequencing and MALDI mass spectrometry.

Cloning of E. coli FabI

A PCR fragment of correct size for E. coli FabI was PCR amplified from E. coli chromosomal DNA, subcloned into the TOPO TA cloning vector, and verified by colony PCR+restriction endonuclease analysis. The presumptive E. coli FabI PCR fragment was subcloned into the expression vector pBluePet. The FabI clone was transformed into E. coli strain BL21(DE3). Small Scale expression studies show an over-expressed protein band of correct molecular weight (˜28 Kda) for E. coli FabI clearly visible following Coomassie staining of SDS PAGE gels. DNA sequencing of the E. coli FabI expression constructs illustrated that no errors were apparent. N′ terminal amino acid sequencing has confirmed the over-expressed protein band to be E. coli FabI.

Purification of E. coli FabI

E. coli FabI was expressed as soluble protein to 15% of total cell protein, 120 g cells being recovered from 3 L fermentation in shake flasks in modified terrific broth. The cells were lysed and the sample centrifuged. The resulting supernatant was filtered and purified using three consecutive chromatography columns: ion-exchange (Sourse 15Q), dye-affinity (blue sepharose), and size exclusion (superose 12). After each column the FabI containing fractions were pooled, concentrated and checked for purity and biological activity.

S aureus FabI Enzyme Inhibition Assay (NADH)

Assays were carried out in half-area, 96-well microtitre plates. Compounds were evaluated in 50-uL assay mixtures containing 100 mM NaADA, pH 6.5 (ADA=N-[2-acetamido]-2-iminodiacetic acid), 4% glycerol, 0.25 mM crotonoyl CoA, 1 mM NADH, and an appropriate dilution of S. aureus FabI. Inhibitors were typically varied over the range of 0.01-10 uM. The consumption of NADH was monitored for 20 minutes at 30° C. by following the change in absorbance at 340 nm. Initial velocities were estimated from an exponential fit of the non-linear progress curves represented by the slope of the tangent at t=0 min. IC₅₀'s were estimated from a fit of the initial velocities to a standard, 4-parameter model and are typically reported as the mean±S.D. of duplicate determinations. Triclosan, a commercial antibacterial agent and inhibitor of FabI, is included in all assays as a positive control. Compounds of this invention have IC₅₀'s from about 5.0 micromolar to about 0.05 micromolar or less.

Preparation and Purification of Crotonoyl-ACP

Reactions contained 5 mg/mL E. coli apo-ACP, 0.8 mM crotonoyl-CoA (Fluka), 10 mM MgCl₂, and 30 uM S. pneumoniae ACP synthase in 50 mM NaHEPES, pH 7.5. The mixture was gently mixed on a magnetic stirrer at 23° C. for 2 hr, and the reaction was terminated by the addition of 15 mM EDTA. The reaction mixture was filtered through a 0.2 micron filter (Millipore) and applied to a MonoQ column (Pharmacia) equilibrated with 20 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5. The column was washed with buffer until all non-adherent material was removed (as observed by UV detection), and the crotonoyl-ACP was eluted with a linear gradient of 0 to 400 mM NaCl.

Assays are carried out in half-area, 96-well microtitre plates. Compounds are evaluated in 150 uL assay mixtures containing 100 mM NaADA, pH 6.5 (ADA=N-(2-acetamido)-2-iminodiacetic acid), 4% glycerol, 25 uM crotonoyl-ACP, 50 uM NADPH, and an appropriate dilution of S. aureus Fab I (approximately 20 nM). Inhibitors are typically varied over the range of 0.01-10 uM. The consumption of NADPH is monitored for 20 minutes at 30° C. by following the change in absorbance at 340 nm. Initial velocities are estimated from a linear fit of the progress curves.

Compounds of this invention in this assay have IC₅₀'s from about 100.0 micromolar to about 0.04 micromolar. The apparent Ki is calculated from Equation 2 assuming the inhibition is competitve with crotonoyl-ACP.

Antimicrobial Activity Assay

Whole-cell antimicrobial activity was determined by broth microdilution using the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) recommended procedure, Document M7-A4, “Methods for Dilution Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically”. The compound was tested in serial two-fold dilutions ranging from 0.06 to 64 mcg/mL. A panel of 12 strains were evaluated in the assay. This panel consisted of the following laboratory strains: Staphylococcus aureus Oxford, Streptococcus pneumoniae R6, Streptococcus pyogenes CN10, Enterococcus faecalis I, Haemophilus influenzae Q1, Escherichia coli DCO, E. coli ESS, E. coli 7623 (AcrAB⁺) E. coli 120 (AcrAB⁻) Klebsiella pneumoniae E70, Pseudomonas aeruginosa K799 wt and Candida albicans GRI 681. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined as the lowest concentration of compound that inhibited visible growth. A mirror reader was used to assist in determining the MIC endpoint.

One skilled in the art would consider any antibacterial compositions of the present invention with a MIC of less than 256 μg/mL to be a potential lead composition. The antibacterial compositions used in the antimicrobial assays may have a MIC value of less than 128 μg/mL. Said compositions may have a MIC value of less than 64 μg/mL.

Method for Checkerboard Combination Studies

The combination experiments were performed and the results were interpreted using the checkerboard method as described in Eliopoulous, G. M., and R. C. Moellering, 1996, Antimicrobial combinations, p. 330-396, In V. Lorian (ed.), Antibiotics in laboratory medicine, 4th ed., The Williams & Wilkins Co., Baltimore, Md., in 96-well microliter plates. Compound A was serially diluted along the x-axis of the test plate to a final volume of 50 μl, and compound B was serially diluted in a separate transfer plate. Dilutions in both plates were made in CAMHB (cation-adjusted Mueller Hinton broth) for Staphylococci and in CAMHB+5% sheep blood for Streptococci. Aliquots (50 μl) of Compound B were transferred to the test plate along the y-axis thereby achieving a checkerboard matrix of antimicrobial combinations (100 μl total volume) as in FIG. 4. The first column and last row (shaded in FIG. 4) contained only compound B or compound A, respectively. Plates were then inoculated with 10 μl of the test microorganism and MICs were determined according to NCCLS guidelines (see National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards, 2000, Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically—Fifth Edition, Approved Standard M7-A5, NCCLS, Wayne, Pa., USA.)

Data analysis was performed as follows and according to Eliopoulous, G. M., and R. C. Moellering, 1996, Antimicrobial combinations, p. 330-396, In V. Lorian (ed.), Antibiotics in laboratory medicine, 4th ed., The Williams & Wilkins Co., Baltimore, Md. First individual FIC values for each combination in a plate were calculated:

FIC (Fractional Inhibitory Concentration)=FICA+FICB

-   -   FICA=MICA+B/MICA i.e. the MIC of combination of compound         A+compound B divided by the MIC of compound A alone.     -   FICB=MICB+A/MICB i.e. the MIC of combination of compound         B+compound A divided by the MIC of compound B alone.

FIC values were calculated only for combinations that enabled determination of a true MIC (e.g. not > or <=values). FIC indexes were then calculated as the average of individual FIC values for each combination plate.

A summary of the FIC index values is presented below in Tables 1 and 2. Table 3 indicates combination time-kill kinetics for two bacterial strains.

Dosages

The dosage of any compositions of the present invention will vary depending on the symptoms, age and body weight of the patient, the nature and severity of the disorder to be treated or prevented, the route of administration, and the form of the subject composition. Any of the subject formulations may be administered in a single dose or in divided doses. Dosages for the compositions of the present invention may be readily determined by techniques known to those of skill in the art or as taught herein.

In certain embodiments, the dosage of the subject compounds will generally be in the range of about 0.01 ng to about 10 g per kg body weight, specifically in the range of about 1 ng to about 0.1 g per kg, and more specifically in the range of about 100 ng to about 10 mg per kg.

An effective dose or amount, and any possible affects on the timing of administration of the formulation, may need to be identified for any particular composition of the present invention. This may be accomplished by routine experiment as described herein, using one or more groups of animals (preferably at least 5 animals per group), or in human trials if appropriate. The effectiveness of any subject composition and method of treatment or prevention may be assessed by administering the composition and assessing the effect of the administration by measuring one or more applicable indices, and comparing the post-treatment values of these indices to the values of the same indices prior to treatment.

The precise time of administration and amount of any particular subject composition that will yield the most effective treatment in a given patient will depend upon the activity, pharmacokinetics, and bioavailability of a subject composition, physiological condition of the patient (including age, sex, disease type and stage, general physical condition, responsiveness to a given dosage and type of medication), route of administration, and the like. The guidelines presented herein may be used to optimize the treatment, e.g., determining the optimum time and/or amount of administration, which will require no more than routine experimentation consisting of monitoring the subject and adjusting the dosage and/or timing.

While the subject is being treated, the health of the patient may be monitored by measuring one or more of the relevant indices at predetermined times during the treatment period. Treatment, including composition, amounts, times of administration and formulation, may be optimized according to the results of such monitoring. The patient may be periodically reevaluated to determine the extent of improvement by measuring the same parameters. Adjustments to the amount(s) of subject composition administered and possibly to the time of administration may be made based on these reevaluations.

Treatment may be initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage may be increased by small increments until the optimum therapeutic effect is attained.

The use of the subject compositions may reduce the required dosage for any individual agent contained in the compositions (e.g., the FabI inhibitor) because the onset and duration of effect of the different agents may be complimentary. For example, the dosage may be selected to modulate metabolism of the bacteria in such a way as to inhibit or stop growth of said bacteria or by killing said bacteria. The skilled artisan may identify this amount as provided herein as well as by using other methods known in the art.

Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of subject compositions may be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD₅₀ and the ED₅₀.

The data obtained from the cell culture assays and animal studies may be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in humans. The dosage of any subject composition lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED₅₀ with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. For compositions of the present invention, the therapeutically effective dose may be estimated initially from cell culture assays.

Formulation

The antibacterial compositions of the present invention may be administered by various means, depending on their intended use, as is well known in the art. For example, if compositions of the present invention are to be administered orally, they may be formulated as tablets, capsules, granules, powders or syrups. Alternatively, formulations of the present invention may be administered parenterally as injections (intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous), drop infusion preparations or suppositories. For application by the ophthalmic mucous membrane route, compositions of the present invention may be formulated as eyedrops or eye ointments, for example, formulated as micronized suspensions in isotonic, pH adjusted saline, with optionally, for example a preservative, or formulated in an ointment such as petrolatum. These formulations may be prepared by conventional means, and, if desired, the compositions may be mixed with any conventional additive, such as an excipient, a binder, a disintegrating agent, a lubricant, a corrigent, a solubilizing agent, a suspension aid, an emulsifying agent or a coating agent.

The ratio between the FabI inhibitor and the at least one other antibacterial agent may vary within relatively broad ranges and will be dependent on the intended use. It is contemplated that the compositions of the present invention may comprise a ratio in the range of about 0.01:1 to 1:100 between the FabI inhibitor and the bioactive agent. In other embodiments, ratios of Fab I inhibitor to anti-infective agent by weight may range from about 1:10 to about 50:1, or from about 1:5 to about 20:1, or about 1:1 to about 15:1, e.g. about 12:1. In certain embodiments, the two or more agents in the subject compositions work synergistically.

In formulations of the subject invention, wetting agents, emulsifiers and lubricants, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, release agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants may be present in the formulated compositions. Such formulations may include further various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like.

Subject compositions may be suitable for oral, nasal, topical (including buccal and sublingual), rectal, vaginal, aerosol and/or parenteral administration. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any methods well known in the art of pharmacy. The amount of composition that may be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dose vary depending upon the subject being treated, and the particular mode of administration. For administration by inhalation for example, compositions disclosed hereing may be delivered through an aerosol spray in the form of for example, a solution, dry powder or cream.

Methods of preparing these formulations include the step of bringing into association compositions of the present invention with the carrier and, optionally, one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association agents with liquid carriers, or finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.

Formulations suitable for oral administration may be in the form of capsules, cachets, pills, tablets, lozenges (using a flavored basis, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth), powders, granules, or as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil liquid emulsion, or as an elixir or syrup, or as pastilles (using an inert base, such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia), each containing a predetermined amount of a subject composition thereof as an active ingredient. Compositions of the present invention may also be administered as a bolus, electuary, or paste.

In solid dosage forms for oral administration (capsules, tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules and the like), the subject composition is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and/or any of the following: (1) fillers or extenders, such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and/or silicic acid; (2) binders, such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sucrose and/or acacia; (3) humectants, such as glycerol; (4) disintegrating agents, such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; (5) solution retarding agents, such as paraffin; (6) absorption accelerators, such as quaternary ammonium compounds; (7) wetting agents, such as, for example, acetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; (8) absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite clay; (9) lubricants, such a talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof; and (10) coloring agents. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the compositions may also comprise buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugars, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

A tablet may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared using binder (for example, gelatin or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, disintegrant (for example, sodium starch glycolate or cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), surface-active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the subject composition moistened with an inert liquid diluent. Tablets, and other solid dosage forms, such as dragees, capsules, pills and granules, may optionally be scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical-formulating art.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the subject composition, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.

Suspensions, in addition to the subject composition, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.

Formulations for rectal or vaginal administration may be presented as a suppository, which may be prepared by mixing a subject composition with one or more suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers comprising, for example, cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, a suppository wax or a salicylate, and which is solid at room temperature, but liquid at body temperature and, therefore, will melt in the body cavity and release the active agent. Formulations which are suitable for vaginal administration also include pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations containing such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.

Dosage forms for transdermal administration of a subject composition includes powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. The active component may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants which may be required.

The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to a subject composition, excipients, such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.

Powders and sprays may contain, in addition to a subject composition, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays may additionally contain customary propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane.

Compositions of the present invention may alternatively be administered by aerosol. This is accomplished by preparing an aqueous aerosol, liposomal preparation or solid particles containing the compound. A non-aqueous (e.g., fluorocarbon propellant) suspension could be used. Sonic nebulizers may be used because they minimize exposing the agent to shear, which may result in degradation of the compounds contained in the subject compositions.

Ordinarily, an aqueous aerosol is made by formulating an aqueous solution or suspension of a subject composition together with conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and stabilizers. The carriers and stabilizers vary with the requirements of the particular subject composition, but typically include non-ionic surfactants (Tweens, Pluronics, or polyethylene glycol), innocuous proteins like serum albumin, sorbitan esters, oleic acid, lecithin, amino acids such as glycine, buffers, salts, sugars or sugar alcohols. Aerosols generally are prepared from isotonic solutions.

Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention suitable for parenteral administration comprise a subject composition in combination with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders which may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient or suspending or thickening agents.

Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers which may be employed in the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils, such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters, such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity may be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.

A pharmaceutical composition is therefore provided comprising a composition of this disclosure and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. Such a composition may be formulated for example, for intraveneous administration, injectable administration, topical application, and/or as suppository. Compositions disclosed herein may formulated, for example, for systemic administration and/or oral administration. For example, such a composition may be formulated in tablets such that the amount of composition provided in 20 tablets, if taken together, provides a dose of at least the ED₅₀ but no more than ten times the ED₅₀. In some embodiments, the composition may be formulated for parenteral administration such that the amount of amount of antibacterial agent substantially inhibiting FabI provided in 20 cc bolus injection provides a dose of at least the ED₅₀ but no more that ten times the ED₅₀. In other embodiments, the composition may be formulated for intravenous infusion such that the amount of antibacterial agent substantially inhibiting FabI provided in one liter of intravenous injectable solution provides a dose of at least the ED₅₀ but no more that ten times the ED₅₀.

A pill is also contemplated for reducing bacterial levels in a subject with a bacteria related illness, comprising a composition of this disclosure. In some embodiments, a pill provides effective bacterial treatment for at least about 8 hours, at least about 12 hours, aat least about 24 hours, and/or at least about one week. A pack of pills in number sufficient for treatment of a bacterial illness is also contemplated, comprising a plurality of pills wherein each pill comprises a composition or a compound disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the pack contains at least 5 pills, at least 10 pills, and/or at least 20 pills.

In one exemplary method, the median survival rate of the bacteria or bacteria median survival time or life span for treatment with a subject composition may be compared to other forms of treatment with the particular FabI inhibitor or bioactive agent contained in the subject composition, or with other bioactive agents. The decrease in median bacteria survival rate or time or life span for treatment with a subject composition as compared to treatment with another method may be 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400% less or even more. The period of time for observing any such decrease may be about 3, 5, 10, 15, 390, 60 or 90 or more days. The comparison may be made against treatment with the particular FabI inhibitor or bioactive agent contained in the subject composition, or with other bioactive agents, or administration of the same or different agents by a different method, or administration as part of a different drug delivery device than a subject composition. The comparison may be made against the same or a different effective dosage of the various agents. The different regiments compared may use bacterial levels.

Alternatively, a comparison of the different treatment regimens described above may be based on the effectiveness of the treatment, using standard indicies for bacterial infections known to those of skill in the art. One method of treatment may be 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 300% more effective, than another method.

Alternatively, the different treatment regimens may be analyzed by comparing the therapeutic index for each of them, with treatment with a subject composition as compared to another regimen having a therapeutic index two, three, five or seven times that of, or even one, two, three or more orders of magnitude greater than, treatment with another method using the same or different FabI inhibitor, bioactive agent or combinations thereof.

Example 360 Combination Studies of Compound G and Commercial Antibodies

Checkerboard experiments were performed and analyzed according to standard procedures as outlined below.

As shown in FIG. 6, no antagonism was found with any of the combinations tested. Gentamicin and linezolid showed a synergistic effect with compound G against the S. aureus strains tested, and all other antibiotics showed an additive effect.

No antagonism was found for any of the compound G combinations shown in FIG. 7. In all cases where FabI does not exist in the test species or the commercial antibiotic had no activity (MIC>32 μg/ml) against a drug resistant strain, no change in MICs of the active component of the combination was observed (FIC<2). In cases where both compounds were active against the tested strain, the effect was highly additive (FIC values of 0.6-1). These results indicate that for all major pathogenic species tested compound G did not show antagonism against antibiotics active against these strains, and commercial antibiotics did not show any antagonism against compound G activities.

Combination time-kill studies were performed as follows. Bacterial inocula were prepared as for MIC determination according to CLSI guidelines. Log phase cells (˜10⁶ CFU/ml) were inoculated into 24 well plates and incubated with the indicated concentrations of compound G and commercial antibiotics for 24 hours at 35° C. At indicated time points samples were removed for determination of viable CFU counts. Results are plotted as log CFU/ml vs. time.

S. pneumoniae 22425, a penicillin and macrolide resistant clinical isolate, was tested with compound G and gatifloxacin (FIG. 8). Since S. pneumoniae does not posses the FabI target, compound G showed no activity against S. pneumoniae at both 0.03 μg/ml and 1 μg/ml. Gatifloxacin alone showed expected bactericidal activity of −3.5 log reduction in CFU at 24 hours. Addition of compound G at the above 2 concentrations had no effect on either the kill kinetics or kill extent of gatifloxacin, and the resulting time-kill curves were superimposable with the control curves. Similar results were obtained with compound G was tested in combination with azithromycin and cefuroxime. These results show that compound G has no effect on the bactericidal activity of gatifloxacin, azithromycin or cefuroxime against S. pneumoniae.
